what do you need in addition to the scanner to use it?

comes with batteries, need micro sd memory card with adaptor, and that is all

A Micro SD card and of course batteries. You can download directly from the scanner to your computer with the included cable so you have everything you need.

you need to purchase a micro card similar to the SanDisk microSDHC 8GB Class 2 Card with adaptor. I bought that one but didn't need the adaptor. The scanner comes with a soft pouch to carry it in, but because I know that when I will be using it at libraries, I have my hands full with notebooks, so i wanted a hard case in case i dropped it. I purchased the VuPoint case. And I did drop it the first time I took it out of my car, so glad i got the hard case.

The scanner is very portable, and this prevents it from having a sheet feeder. So yes, you do. Even at that, I found it much faster than using a printer/scanner and turning the sheets over, which makes a rather hard to use file.

No, it has a separate power cord. Some devices will work with either USB power or a power cord but this scanner must be plugged in.

This question is over my head. All I know is the scanner does not work and I let to much time go by to return it because it was a Christmas gift bought to early.

I had to use an SD card. I didn't find that to be an issue. The scanner worked great, and I did several thousand slides!

how's it going, to answer your question no, it just comes with the scanner, manual, and a battery in the package. that cable is an extra purchase (though it would be nice to have)

The scanner is supplied with USB cable (one side USB-A type connector and other side USB-B type connector)

I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately the scanner hasn't worked so I am not using it.

At least you got a manual. I didn't get anything but a few barcodes on a small piece of paper. I haven't been able to use my scanner. It just sits there. I am so disappointed with this purchase. It was a complete waste of money. If there's a manual I'd love to have one, too.

The scanner with docking station is an automatic scanner, but you need feed them with a piece of paper one by one. You put the paper into the dock station, the scanner take the paper, and then the scanning process will begin. IS AN AMAZING SCANNER, YOU CAN SCAN THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS WITH YOUR HANDS OR AUTOMATICLY

Yes, install the provided windows 7 drivers, install first before connecting the scanner. I love this scanner and recommend it highly

John, Install the drivers first, so that when you power up the scanner it will be recognized. I think you will be happy with this scanner. It isn't the fastest around, but the results are worth the wait. I think some of my old slides (1960's and 1970's) look better than they did originally.

There is no scanner on this but you can buy one with a scanner attached. I bought a separate Cannon scanner.

The scanner doesn't have a power cord or batteries. You power it from the laptop with the USB so I don't think it will meet your needs.

Take the SD card out of the scanner and plug it into a card/ USB adaptor if your computer does not have a dedicated port, then transfer the files to a folder in the normal way.

I did not receive a manual either but there was a small paper with barcodes that would initiate certain functions for the scanner. We purchased 4 of these scanners and they all included the small barcode sheet. The scanner is married to the USB that come with the unit. If you have more than one, label them and don't get them mixed up.
